Summons issued to French fugitive

The Bureau of Immigration (BI) has summoned a French fugitive wanted in France allegedly for embezzlement and influence-peddling.

Alfred Sirven, 73, has been on the run from French law since 1997 and is now the subject of a transcontinental police manhunt.

Immigration agents served the subpoena issued by Immigration Commissioner Rufus Rodriguez at the Caloocan residence of Sirven's Filipino girlfriend, Vilma Aguinaldo Medina.

They have failed to locate Medina. It was not known who received the summons. -- With AFP, Reuters
